SOCIALLY AWKWARD ME!

Last year little freshmen Bailey, Autumn, Grayci, Sara, Bethani, and I were all in agreement that big SENIOR Austin Pohlen  was (and still is) the hottest thing to grace our school. He graduated and we soon forgot about him. Well he's back. With college being over all the graduates are coming home. I ran into him in the weight room and am such an idiot.

I was sick yesterday and decided not to go outside and run in the cold rain. Instead I ran around the school for 20 minutes then hit up the weight room, where I saw him. First I ran out to go and find Bailey (I'll tell you why at the end of the post), and when I couldn't find her decided I should actually work out. After a while I wound up doing plyometric box jumps, when he grabs a mat and asks
 "Mind if I do abs next you?" This is what follows:
Me-"Sure."
Him (Jokingly)-"Just don't fall on me! Haha"
Me-"Only on purpose" (A few seconds pass) "OMG!! I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT AT ALL!!!!"
Him (You can't even replicate the look he had on his face)-"Umm...Ya" (He looked so uncomfortable)
Me-"Forget I ever said anything"
Him-"I'm just not going to lay down"
END SCENE

If you know me, you'd know that when I do something on accident (ie. step on the back of your shoe) I'll say, "Oh, sorry that was on purpose". Which was what I meant, but I realized he doesn't really know me...I'm so awkward.

MEMORY LANE
Here are some fun memories that include Austin:
          I had some friends last year who were seniors and their table was by mine, so obviously I'd sit over there and talk every now and then. Well one day I sat in Austin's seat while he was off getting his lunch, though at the time I didn't know it was his seat. He came back, looked at me and sat at my table in my seat. Fedje told me I was in his seat, so I got up to leave, but he refused to leave my table! Instead he sits practically on Bailey, and starts going on about how he hopes she feels better (she was sick).  So he ate lunch with freshmen and I ate lunch with seniors. Apparently he was pissy the rest of the day.
          One day at lunch there were only three chairs at my table, forcing some of us to either split a seat or sit on the floor. Bailey was on of the ones on the floor. Austin sees and says that he'll get us chairs. He leaves for about five minutes, and when he comes back he has one chair. Which he gives to Bailey. That and the above incident got him labeled as Bailey's Best Friend.
          Prom. What I did was (according to Bailey) mean, horrible, and caused her to chase me from the Civic Center to my house, where upon catching up to me she talked me to the ground and punched me. :)
Friendship. Here's what happened; It was the night of Prom, and a bunch of us went  to watch the Grand March. Afterwards we were going around telling people we knew how pretty they looked and what not when I caught a glance of Austin up in the window thingy. I did what anyone would do. See when he walked down the aisle Bailey and I went on about how cute and attractive he was in his tux. Can you guess what happened next? Yes, I told him that she thought he looked really good in his tux and had a crush on him (we all did). She didn't think it was as funny as myself and others found it. (But he did say she was cute. Which she is!)


Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed!!

BSU Meet Two

Well yesterdays meet was pretty interesting. For starters there were 29 schools crammed into one small building. That was horrible, it got very hot and very crowded fast. The best part was that my friend Maggie was there! Which also means that Colton was there. That was so awkward. Just an FYI this post is about the social aspects that went on during the meet and not so much the actual meet stuff. I'll start with Colton because the rest of it is just weird ... Anyways, Colton was there. I tried to avoid him as best as I could but due to the fact that he long jumps, or maybe it was triple jump I wasn't really paying attention, and that our camp was right next to the pits I saw a lot of him. Also I hung out at Maggie's team's camp and he's on her team. Turns out she doesn't have that high of an opinion of him either. It was really creepy because he kept looking at me, like every chance he got! Then he comes up tp me and accuses me of stalking him! Maggie and I w

JNQ at Mt. Itasca

Yes, I did another JNQ race, and this time it was at home. The day before the race I had a high school one. It was our first (and only) pursuit of the season and man was it a sad one. Most of the time either couldn't make it or was sick. Maggie showed up and wound up just going home. The two of us went out to do a warm up/see the course ski and after the first hill she was dying. That weekend she had an uber high fever and was just sick. I went and did the first race and just had to puke the entire time. Afterwards I did wind up puking a couple of times, and decided that I just shouldn't do the second race. Even though I was sick Friday I still decided to race on Saturday.I did the women's 5k and think I did decently. It was a tough course, well mostly it was just a tough beginning. This is what we did; the right horseshoe into the swamp loop, up the switch back climbed all the way up the way, did a loop up top, went down part of bunny hill connected to the service road,

First distance run in awhile...

KJ was gone today because of the Elite meet, and so he left us with a workout and put Amber in charge. Amber is a student at the college studying to become a physical educator  She's almost, but not quite, an assistant sprinting coach.  Some pictures from the Elite meet. Courtesy of KJ: The workout was just 4 laps with 100 yrd sprints on the straightaways, 10 100s with 40 second rests between. The weight room was locked and since Amber isn't an official coach she doesn't have a key and we couldn't workout. I don't think anyone was sad. That was the earliest the girls sprint team has ever finished. Usually we're the last ones there, because KJ just talks and talks. I decided that since I haven't really been training for the half-marathon well at all since track started that I should probably go for a run. Start gathering some miles up. WORST IDEA EVER, actually that's a lie. I've had worst ones. Like working out with Nick. I
